Royal Caribbean’s 274-night Ultimate World Cruise set sail in December causing quite a stir. What made it surprising was that the cruise line is best known for its seven-day cruises. Meanwhile, the cruise line is not alone in the world cruise market, as others offer similar options. While previously, world cruises were limited to luxury cruise ships, things have changed, giving travelers an option at a more affordable price.

Which cruise lines offer world cruises?

The average world cruise takes more than 100 days, but not everyone has the time or money for the full itinerary. For this reason, shorter segments are available, heading to the guest’s preferred locations. Meanwhile, pricing varies depending on the cruise line at anything from $15,000 per person, up to $100,000.
